A wise but coward
frog has nary stopped complaining about seeing people coming to its well to
steal and spoil its peace. They come in big numbers and draw water while the
frog is just looking. Once water thieves are gone, the frog starts complaining.
After finding that complaining does not knock things off, the frog changes the
tune by singing, “The well and water are mine,”
Frog’s monkey
business reminds me of Bongolalaland. I recently heard a section of our
peaceable people of our hunk complaining about Bariki Company from the land of
maple leaf for being kindly offered a fifteen-year permission to exploit gold in
the hunk. I heard other complaining about illegal and economic
immigrants. They said that our hunk has a lot of these guys doing even
matching-guys’ business in Karikoo streets. Some are just mere shamba boys who
came to the country as experts. We, too, have the guys doing, for instance,
Indian cuisine otherwise referred to as expert simply because our cooks can’t
cook those sorts of Indian yum yum they cook.
Again, if you
imagine how many homegrown house helps these guys employ in their homes, you
wonder how stupid such proposition-experts- is. Are they real experts or experts
in buying their “expatriate status’ from our hyena-like officials? Those who
think what I am saying is far fetched should find Chevda and ask him how he came
penniless to the hunk and made billions.
Our hunk is always
generous especially to its ‘guests’. Remember the guy who sold our giraffe on 24
November 2010 via KIA? Given that we've so many beasts in the wild and offices,
it was the right thing. After all, who cares if animals are sold? Methinks.
Those 130 animals that were sold used to eat a lot of our grasses. So, to
conserve our environment, some smart las putas had to come and help us sell
them.
More on Bariki,
what baffles everybody is the fact that such writ comes at the time mining biz
has become another way of theft by consent. Some fyatus say that our supremos
receive their cut then let international economic beasts steal as please.
I’m not of this view. I won’t tell why. While megalomania is going on;
our hoi polloi is cascading to abject poverty at rocket speed.
Sadly, we've such economic psychopaths and social paths who don’t feel
guilty of whatever mess they make. The same bêtes noix will go around saying
that they’re in power to serve the hoi polloi while they actually are there to
fill their thankless tummies.
Again, if you ask
the duo namely international economic beasts and the power that-be what they've one, they’ll show you a very cheap dispensary, school or a “piece” of poor road
in the community where ‘theft by consent of the biggies’ is going on.
When you compute the value of the so-called investment to the community
and compare it to the dosh dished out of the hunk, you feel like committing
suicide. You feel like bursting with anger and frustrations. But again, who are
you to doubt and question the high and mighty that have the license to do as
please? Who are you to question the unquestionable? Who are you to see what the
plebeians can’t see? Who are you to question the patricians of today?
Even plebeians were
smart. They shook Rome when they decided to down their tools to see to it that
they’re allowed to vie for magistratehood just like the patricians. Do we still
have such small people with big hearts in our hunk today? Where will we get them
if at all bigger guys are heartless?
Sadly though, while
we squander our resources, we shamelessly go cup in hand begging from the same
dudes we offer our resources! What’s wrong with us? Is it selfishness and
corruption or lack of vision? This is especially true particularly
to the victims of our investment. The guys in Mara dying of pollution might know
what it is to have such nugatory policies. Who care about the
future if it can take care of itself? Who is concerned about our environment in
the future? Who bothers to think about tomorrow that never comes? He must be mad
he who wastes precious time thinking about tomorrow. We need to think in terms
of mshiko instead of elusive future development.
I am wondering
people are hollering about BARIKI while they kept mum when Richmond sold its
deal to Dowans. Where are Richmond-Dowans-Kagodamn thieves? We are told that
some are among the richest guys in our God-forsaken continent! Are they rich or
just thugs? Who care if such macabre investments cause power rationing which
gives us chance to multiply? Who cares if our peaceable hunk is always at peace
with itself and its earthlings? Who needs a goat among sheep?
Again, is there any
logic in blaming BARIKI while those enhancing whatever thefts are with us? If
you don’t give them a hard time who will? Go figure!
Let me tell you
something. Those who hate seeing our hunk being vended should act like a wise
frog. Instead of complaining, just sing. Or just behave like a wise monkey. See
nothing, hear nothing, and say nothing. Thence, you’ll be happy. Again, if you truly hate
whatever you think is not right, take on those doing it. “Insanity is doing
the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results,” Albert
Einstein.
